Who was the first to say, "hey, i think i'll put hundreds of care-free, energetic, horny, bored youth into the same building, give them complete freedom aside from attending classes they will completely DISPISE, and call it university!"??? And WHY did they let it happen???

Yup, that's where we send our most brilliant young minds... and that's where our political leaders get their start... explain anything?

i think either you are making some sort of a lighthearted joke or you're basically there on mommy and daddies dime. You might be surprised what some people are willing to do to afford such a wonderful mess.
Recommended action: take your 20s off from school. See the world.

How many people are actually PUT into university I wonder. Perhaps you have a point; is materialistic pursuit really first nature, the social priority. That would explain your degradation.

I don't think the origins of any university had that in mind when it was founded. Chances are the students who first attended didn't either.

It was probably the same individuals who thought ' OMG, we could make money out of this, and make them think we are giving them something in return.'

College is what you make of it: what are you doing with your time? It's totally your choice. I agree with jorluke: if you're not getting anything out of college (and your questions suggests that), then please leave and do something you consider constructive--and save your parents' money. So many people would love to get an education and cannot afford it. Welcome to semi-adulthood: make choices that work for you.
